Chapter 818: Deep Sea Interception (Part 2)

"Want to use this tattered shell to perish together with me?"

Zhou Huai looked at the giant body that was about to transform into an underwater nuclear bomb, his tone still calm. "The method is not bad, unfortunately, you used it on the wrong target."

"Boom——!!!"

Without giving any time to react, that huge body tens of kilometers long exploded with a bang on the seabed.

That was a destructive scene impossible to describe with words.

At the instant of the explosion, the seawater within a radius of hundreds of kilometers was instantly vaporized by the extreme high temperature, and a bottomless vacuum zone was forcefully blasted out on the seabed. The violent torrent of energy, like a beast devouring everything, swept crazily in all directions. Wherever it passed, the underwater mountains, rock strata, and even the surrounding spatial barriers were completely ground into nothingness.

Facing this world-destroying self-detonation, Zhou Huai did not show the slightest panic.

"[Immortal Divine Domain]!"

With a thought from him, Xiang Yu's Domain skill activated instantly. A pitch-black energy dome suddenly spread out with him at the center, protecting him tightly within.

Immediately after, the mana value within his body surged wildly once more.

"[Dimensional Cleavage]!"

On top of the defense of the Immortal Divine Domain, Zhou Huai utilized Victor's Law of Space to forcibly tear open countless spatial rifts around himself. Those explosive energies, sufficient to destroy everything, were forcibly channeled into the endless Void Realm turbulent flows upon contacting this spatial barrier.

Even so, that terrifying recoil force still pushed Zhou Huai to slide back over ten thousand meters on the seabed, and the light on the abyssal blood battle armor dimmed a bit.

"Beep beep beep——"

Chun's voice came through the communication channel, though extremely suppressed, still carrying a hint of solemnity.

"Zhou Huai! How is the situation on your end? The sea surface on my side has already whipped up tsunamis over a thousand meters high, did that fellow self-detonate?"

"Just a minor scene, it didn't even scratch my armor."

Zhou Huai stood in the boiling seabed vacuum, gently patting the ash on his shoulder guards. "However, this beast is quite decisive; seeing it couldn't beat me, it directly abandoned that old physical shell tens of kilometers long."

"Abandoned its shell?" Chun reacted immediately on the other end of the communication. "That is the companion Spirit Beast of the Kaslandis Ruins, its underwater speed is unsolvable! It must be using the self-detonation as cover, wanting to escape with the core portal of the ruins! We absolutely cannot let it run away; once it hides in the deep sea again, trying to catch it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

"Run?"

Zhou Huai looked at the red dot on the System panel, which was fleeing frantically towards the deeper parts of the deep sea at an extremely terrifying speed under the cover of the explosion, a cold arc curling at the corner of his mouth.

Within that turbid aftermath of the explosion, a small black giant whale with a body length of only about a hundred meters, like a black lightning bolt, blessed by the underwater home-field advantage, had its speed increased by more than ten times compared to before!

It not only perfectly inherited the core of the Kaslandis Ruins, but also, because it shed its massive physical shell, completely broke free from the shackles of physical Law, able to instantly span a distance of several thousand meters with every tail wag.

"In front of the Law of Space, any speed in a physical sense is merely a pale and powerless joke."

Zhou Huai's voice was as cold as ice and frost.

He did not immediately give chase, but instead raised his left hand, and Victor's [Void Omniscience] locked onto that frantically fleeing small whale once again.

"[Seal of the Thunder God]!"

An invisible spiritual brand, ignoring the obstruction of space and seawater, was directly engraved onto the spine of that small whale.

Just at the moment when the small whale thought it had finally escaped death, and even relaxed its fleeing movements by a fraction.

"Swish!"

Zhou Huai's figure vanished into thin air in place.

[Universe Reversal] plus [Seal of the Thunder God]!

There was no process, no trajectory whatsoever.

When Zhou Huai appeared again, he had already directly crossed tens of kilometers of deep sea, resembling an unshakable demon god, blocking squarely in front of the small whale!

"Where are you going?"

Zhou Huai's voice, carrying banter and murderous intent, exploded like the death knell of the Grim Reaper in the small whale's mind.

"Wuwu——!"

The small whale let out a mournful cry that was desperate to the extreme. It could never have imagined that the opponent could actually ignore the deep-sea water pressure and distance, instantly spanning space to appear before it.

It desperately tried to brake, even attempting to change direction and flee once more.

But Zhou Huai did not give it any chance at all.

"It's over."

Zhou Huai gripped the abyssal blood dragon spear tightly with both hands, and the Ten Thousand Aspects into One Law within his body was driven to the extreme at this moment. The violence of thunder, the devouring of shadows, the sharpness of space—all destructive powers gathered without reservation upon the tip of the spear.

"Die!"

A spear thrown out!

The dark golden dragon spear transformed into a fatal meteor piercing through heaven and earth, carrying an overbearing might that tore everything apart, dragging out a spatial rift in the seawater that refused to heal for a long time.

"Puchi——!"

That originally indestructible whale skull, in front of this Peak strike, was as fragile as a thin sheet of paper.

The abyssal blood dragon spear pierced in from its glabella with the momentum of destroying withered weeds and smashing dead wood, instantly piercing through its entire body and bringing out a large area of dark green bloody rain from its tail!

Along with the health bar completely clearing to zero, the small whale's hundred-meter-long body suddenly stiffened in the seawater, subsequently losing all vitality.

However, the anomaly did not stop there.

"Crack… Crack…"

On the surface of the small whale's corpse, countless bizarre blue cracks suddenly emerged. Immediately following, its flesh began to violently roll outward and disintegrate, as if a huge object was about to break out of its cocoon from within its body.

Accompanied by an extremely intense sense of spatial distortion, endless deep blue light burst out from the small whale's remains, instantly illuminating this pitch-black deep sea.

When the light gradually dissipated, Zhou Huai floated in the seawater, looking at the scene before him, a flash of sharp light crossing his dark golden pupils.

In the center of the small whale's completely split skeletal remains, an ancient stone gate towering into the clouds stood quietly. Inside the stone gate, there was no solid entity, only a huge annular vortex with a diameter exceeding a thousand meters.

The vortex presented a deep azure blue, rotating slowly, exuding an ancient, vicissitudinous, and terrifying aura imbued with Advanced water-type Laws. That was a dimensional fluctuation completely independent of the present world.

"So this is your true form."

Zhou Huai summoned the abyssal blood dragon spear back into his hand, looking at the huge annular vortex before him, and sneered.

In the communication channel, Chun's hurried voice came through.

"Zhou Huai, I sensed extremely intense spatial folding fluctuations! Did you find the entrance to the ruins?"

"Ah, found it."

Zhou Huai looked at that deep blue vortex, feeling the faint but extremely pure Origin aura of The Seventh World emanating from within, his tone revealing an unquestionable confidence.

"Stripped of this turtle shell, this so-called Castlantis has finally deigned to open its door."
